Hi everyone,
Just to let you know a fish order is close now

My shoal of Allens damsels mate, 7-10 fish please- - - -Pomacentrus alleni

A nice freshly caught 'non skinny' mandarinfish please too (small one please 2"-3") - - - Synchiropus splendidus

Any problem if they arent on the lists from the areas you're buying from just let me know m8 but I want to give you first dibs on supplying them.

haha, theres no point in seeing availability lists, they are designed to attract people!

Just order a couple of species of dwarf from the area then they get the hint and hopefully send you at least some form of pomacanthid (probably something huge, but nevermind) :)

I remember ordering a Wonderpuss from bali, direct, only to be greeted by 28 blue ring octopus on opening the boxes, as though 32 boxes wasnt enough to deal with already!

i love wild orders, if the facilities are there to keep them in good shape! its like christmas!!!! :)

If they are the anthias in the pic, they are either subadult male 'carberry' or adult male dispar and theres also an evansi swimming about in the buckets. It might be worth seeking the name Mirolabricthys as an old synonym to Pseudanthias.

I unpacked them into little plastic tanks (bosses wouldnt even come anywhere near) and put them in the coral system one by one. i settled them in really well, eating frozen whole krill and big mysis and when i could find them acro crabs and miscellaneous live rock crabs, and they did great until they got into the hands of an 'expert'. You cant blame shipping, as i inked them and packed them impeccably and in almost total darkness!

Their life span is short, not sure exactly how short, they were only about two inch bodysize but were incredible animals to say the least.
